Jeremy, The Civil Engineer

Painting I did at the art club's watercolour workshop.

Me and my friend jokingly made a backstory for this guy. He's in civil eng and he's suffering

Drew my angel oc w the LED/neon effect because why not.

Had been a long, long time since I'd drawn this guy

Kill la Kill | Ragyo Kiryuin

Aug 21 2022

I hated this when I was making it, and even more once I had finished it. Maybe I thought I would look back on it and disagree, but nope!

I'm surprisingly tolerant of the one without the rainbow lighting on her body. But holy did I drop the ball on this drawing as a whole.

I don't even like the lineart for chrissakes 😭.

Nonetheless, might take another stab at ragyo for ragyo's sake, but it'd be a whole new drawing. This is unsalvageable.

Vinyl Printmaking Assignment

~September/October 2021

Gr11 assignment that was a bit of a disaster. Cutting the shapes out of the vinyl was ez, but I remember the printing itself was a disaster.

Kinda doesn't work but that's aight. Meant to be the printmaking where you scrape ink onto a shirt or smth and there's the fabric thingy in between.

I tried printing it on my sketchbook before but it didnt work cos the ink was made for fabric. Did it now w acrylic, but it bled a lot. Could do the strat where u paint in base colour first nd then the wanted colour, probably.

"W" Painting

December 25 - 26, 2024 Acrylic on Canvas

This painting has an actual name, but I'm sticking with the moniker " 'W' Painting" (as dubbed by my family/friends because there's a W sticker on the top left corner) until I actually finish it.

Painting I frantically did because I was having a Terrible Time and when that happens you paint little guys having a Terrible Time.

Wanted to finish this before I moved over the spring/summer for coop but just didn't have the time for it, so it won't get done until 2025 fall the earliest.

I look at this and realise there's Anatomy Problems / a fundamental difference in the flow/positioning of the characters between the initial sketch and where I'm at now. There's no turning back now, and I'm still happy with what I have, still. Just have to figure out that damned arm when I go to finish this. But it's also a fun loose painting, anatomy doesn't have to be flawless (call me a part of the 'it's my style' club 😛). Pro tip when drawing characters interacting --uhh refine the sketch before rendering 🤠👍👍👍👍👍👍

Little watercolour portrait I did at my uni's art club watercolour workshop. Went w my roomie and just chilled.

Chose a warm colour palette just to make things easy, dk waht compelled me to do a portrait. I like how it ended up tho >:J

Also I brought my own watercolours and brushes because it just makes things easier, but I let others in our little circle use them and one of them was using them as you would acrylics I was mortified ☠️

Cardinality

2017

Multi-canvas painting I did. I don't know what gave me this idea, but it was crazy. Can't believe I made this back in 2017.

Made spacers out of foam boards from the dollar store so that the canvases would be held in the final configuration during painting.

Bought my first ever non dollar store paint from DeSerres for this project. Still have quite a few colours (namely the red 😍)

Shout out to my father for making the frames ‼️‼️

AAM Inktober Day 1: Galaxy

October 1, 2024

Here's the beginning of my inktober escapades. All of the prompts are from my uni's art club. I was planning on using both this prompt list and the official one (for certain prompts where I need more to get my brain going), but the official prompt list is kinda ass this year.

Challenging myself to only use my one brush pen that i've never used before (along with no sketching beforehand) for all the drawings

This one was pretty fast, but then the stars were really annoying and took a decent amt of time. I like how they turned out, though.

Gonna post them all separately because I have things to say about each separate one 😜😝

Photomontage Art Project | Salmon Rush

November 2022

Gr12 art project inspired by ___'s photomontage art style. This is a project I was dreading when I took gr12 art. I'm not a photographer and I was not anticipating making anything that I'd like. Surprisingly, I really, really liked this project.

Me and my partner took my father's gopro and canon camera and went to the local creek to bother some salmon.

I did make a digital version of it to figure out the scaling I'd need to print everything at. I then maximized profit by nesting the pictures on 8.5x11" files so that I'd spend the least amount of money printing them 🔥(because we had to do that ourselves, the school doesn't have coloured printers 🙄)

Lowkey there was only one other person whose project I liked for this assignment. A lot of them were really messy and didn't have any grounding elements. For this one I put a lot of focus on the logs in the middle. And I did splice together a lot of pictures to form the whole log, but I made sure they were all lined up so the full form was still distinguishable.
